I am attending Liberty University for my bachelors in Theology. Today, I received a writing assignment and I am not sure as to how to write it. I'll post the question:

For those of you who do not believe in cross-cultural evangelism, describe why you do not believe in evangelistic outreach across cultural lines.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Relational evangelism is a method of sharing faith by first building friendships with non-believers and sharing the gospel within the context of those ongoing relationships. It emphasizes building trust and connection over time through actions like meeting needs and listening deeply, rather than an immediate, direct gospel presentation to strangers. This approach is seen as a natural, unhurried way to share one's beliefs, often leading to stronger assimilation into a faith community for new conv... moreRelational evangelism is a method of sharing faith by first building friendships with non-believers and sharing the gospel within the context of those ongoing relationships. It emphasizes building trust and connection over time through actions like meeting needs and listening deeply, rather than an immediate, direct gospel presentation to strangers. This approach is seen as a natural, unhurried way to share one's beliefs, often leading to stronger assimilation into a faith community for new converts.
Key aspects of relational evangelism
Relationship first: It centers on intentionally building friendships with people like neighbors, coworkers, or hobby partners to establish trust.
Action and service: It involves serving others by meeting their needs, such as helping with a project or simply showing kindness, which demonstrates the love of Christ in action.
Natural conversations: The gospel is shared not as a pre-packaged speech, but as a natural part of a friendship, often by "gently steering the conversation" towards faith when appropriate.
Long-term process: This is a longer-term strategy, where sharing faith is not time-sensitive, and the focus is on a consistent, unhurried process over time.
"Show and tell": It combines "showing" the gospel through one's life (incarnational presence) and "telling" the gospel through conversation (content of the message).
Authentic witness: The goal is to be a credible witness by living out one's faith in a genuine way, which can build attraction to the God one worships.
I've been watching TimcastIRl, Officer Tatum podcasts and there is a lot of hate and violence going on. I welcome the National Guard in Seattle, Portland and LA. Enough is enough! Hate filled people laugh at Charlie Kirk's death. I was shaken when I saw that. Sick , depraved and just wrong. I was a teen during the assassination of Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, the attempted assassination of Reagan, Ford and now Trump.

This HAS to STOP! There is more unrest now than back in the Viet Nam era. BLM, Antifa and the rest need to rooted out like cockroaches and eliminated, but anyone with a gun, half a brain and hate that boils over can start a new group. I welcome the National Guard into Seattle, Portland, LA. Seattle was beautiful when I was younger, clean streets, businesses thriving.. Now, it's a cesspool of humanity. I served eleven and a half years for this?? I voted for this and people are becoming intolerant. I see some dark days coming and I wish I didn't.
Stay strong in your faith, keep your Sword sharp , your Powder dry , your Head on a swivel. And Put on āThe Whole Armor Of Godā

I have been wanting to post but the rains and tornadoes start and you find yourself laying on your back after getting dropped out of the storm. I can't go into details but a man (for lack of a better word) has been harassing me and asking for my resignation from the city council, spewing his hate and moral ugliness on Facebook and one commenter went as far as calling me a Pedophile.
TRUST ME! I am not that....It's been hard to show my face in this town without being called out.

TRUST ME! I am not that....It's been hard to show my face in this town without being called out.
I am a minister Officiant with a business that is successful, I wake up in the morning finding it hard to get out of bed, but people make me happy when they ask to hire me and I go out of my way to make their wedding the best.
I have stood on a bridge here in Selah for two hours wanting to jump 4 years ago. God stopped me from ending it and I am thankful he did.
I am a broken man in many meanings of the word. I fully believe that Jesus Christ is my personal savior and Lord. I do the right thing or try to each and every day. Last week, I wanted vengeance but that is to be left up to God in the end. I'd like to get know a lot of you. The Knights has shown me good men and strong friends. I hope I can find that here. I still have faithful friends that check up on me. I will do the same with you. Please pray that I come out of this with battle scars but willing to get back up and fight on.
Thanks for reading. It's not easy to admit wrongs here. I am on another journey to go back to school for a bachelors in Theology.
Thank you all for welcoming me.
Greetings, Templar Family. I am happy to introduce our newest member to the Order and to the Priory of King David, David Monaghan. David is coming to us from an Order that OMSDT recognizes and therefore we will be honoring his rank of Knight. David writes this about himself:
I was born in Omaha, Nebraska on May 30th, 1958 and was raised in the Catholic Church. My parents lived there until March of 1966 when we moved to Federal Way, WA for the big Boeing hiring.

David is coming to us from an Order that OMSDT recognizes and therefore we will be honoring his rank of Knight. David writes this about himself:
I was born in Omaha, Nebraska on May 30th, 1958 and was raised in the Catholic Church. My parents lived there until March of 1966 when we moved to Federal Way, WA for the big Boeing hiring. I continued in Catholic training till my Senior year in High School, however I found a Christian church nearby and started attending there. I felt more at home and liked the Christian way of performing services. I graduated in 1977 and then joined the Navy in August of 1979.
I was discharged in January of 1984 and then went to South Seattle Community College from 1985-1987, receiving an Associates Degree in electronics. I joined the Air Force National Guard in 1984 and left in 1987, then joined the Naval Reserve in 2001.
I moved to Phoenix, AZ in 2006 and during that stay, I was baptized a second time. I did that because I was baptized when I was a baby. I wanted to understand why and how this affected my life. In 2013, I left Phoenix and moved back to Washington where I live with my wife, Lori, and Bella Rose, a female German Shepherd dog. I will be attending Liberty University in September, online so I can receive a bachelor's degree in Theology Christian Studies.
Please join me in welcoming Sir David to our Order!
